[As people approach Chateau De Minuit they are greeted to the front of the casino lit up with green lights. The giant skeleton that holds the sign is dressed in a bright green suit with a matching top hat, around its neck are what look like green mardi gras beads. The greeters at the entrance are dressed to match the skeleton and are handing out gift bags as people walk up.]

[For the first few hours Cifera is standing on the roof, dressed in a black three piece suit with green accents, greeting people as they approach. Her arms are outstretched in greeting and she currently has a very theatrical demeanor.]

Good evening friends and guests to Chateau De Minuit’s St Patricks Day Bash. Come in and enjoy yourselves, there is much to do and don’t forget to grab a gift bag on your way inside!

The Main Hall

[clawsomeproprietress]

[The main hall which normally has various slot machines and training tables for various cards games has been completely changed. Now there are replacing them are various sitting and standing tables with caterers walking around with hors d’oeuvres. There is a stage at the back of the room where there is currently a cover band playing Flogging Molly. Near the stage they have also set up a small dance floor for people to enjoy the music. Everything is spaced out in such a way to encourage mingling and conversation. It is different enough that one has to wonder how they pulled it off.]

[On the serving trays there are various savory and sweet options. For some of the savory options there are reuben finger sandwiches, baked red potatoes with cheese, and honey glazed salmon sliders. For some of the sweet options there are cream puffs, Guinness chocolate cheesecake petit fours, and macarons.]

[Along the walls of the room there are still some game tables set up. The tables have various card games and games of chance available to anyone to play. A few games of pure chance such as roulette. A few traditional card games such as baccarat, black jack, and pai gow. Then in the very corner of the room there is a table with ominous energy. When approached you see a single game in the middle of the table, Uno.]

The Bar

[clawsomeproprietress]

[The bar is in a room to off to the side of the main hall. It is equally decorated but has a quieter energy to it. Compared to the loud and high energy of the main hall the bar is calm and reserved. Soft conversations are being had over drinks and polite laughter. Approaching the bar you will be greeted by one of the bartenders asking what you would like. In addition to making the usual cocktails there is also a menu with themed cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic]

Poker Tournament

[clawsomeproprietress]

[In the poker room there are multiple themed poker tables set up with matching cards. There is a table in the back of the room to sign up for the tournament and a TV with a live updating list of the current rankings displayed. Anyone 18 or older is free to sign up and participate. If people aren’t the gambling type they are free to watch the matches as well]

[OOC characters can roll with any luck related modifiers to determine their ranking in the tournament. Final rankings will be posted at the end of the event.]

Quiet Space

[clawsomeproprietress]

[Off in another corner of the casino is a room set off where the music is muffled as a retreat for those that need to get away from the noise and lights. The room is dimmer with a bunch of cat themed bean bags lying around.]

Grab Bags!

[clawsomeproprietress]

[gift bags are one per player, comment with the character you would like to receive the bag.]

The Stage(Prize Drawing)

[clawsomeproprietress]

[As the night starts drawing to a a close and the clock strikes midnight all the lights in the main hall go down before spotlights light up the stage. Standing in the middle of the stage is Cifera having clearly had a costume change, now wearing a suit similar to a ringmasters outfit coattails and all.]

Good evening distinguished guests, thank you for enjoying the party and staying till this point. As a show of my appreciation I have a prize drawing for everyone that is here tonight. You may win anything from a hoverboard, to a car, or even my extra special surprise for one lucky winner.

[Cifera makes a sweeping gesture towards the crowd with her cane.]

Let’s see which of you lucky contestants will be the winners of my grand drawing!

[OOC, comment below with either an in character post or just stating that your character is entering the drawing to be included]

[wilder]

[Well Zelos did love gambling and a good party, so he's here! He's wearing an emerald green suit to match the holiday, with his long red hair braided back in a stylish way. Currently he's sitting near the bar as he sips an alcoholic drink- one of the pot of golds- when he decides to make conversation]

Well well, what brings you here tonight~?

[wilder]

Zelos for a grab bag!

[wiseoldbartender]

Husk for a grab bag!

Husk | Hazbin Hotel | OTA

[wiseoldbartender]

[ Husk is the Overlord of Gambling. Deposed and a while lifetime behind, to be sure, but it still counts. And as a result, he can't resist the siren call of a poker table. He's settled himself at a table, gathering his chips and getting ready for the game. He has his comb in his pocket, the only thing really saving him from his horrific cursed bad luck. He might have half a chance of winning!

Not that he's showing any signs of being worried about it. He's looking more confident than he usually does. This, after all, is his element. ]

Gotta admit, she's got a real nice set up here. Ain't no sawdust joint to be sure. You ready to play?

[[OOC: Husk will be rolling with -8 luck and have 4 advantage rolls to even out the awful.]]

[bebest]

[ Zulius will naturally be at a party. He's the LIFE of any he chooses to grace with his presence after all! He's currently sipping at a Shillelagh, wearing a green sequined shift and a jaunty little leprechaun hat perched at an angle between his ears. ]

Well! I am SO glad you asked! I am here to bring the partaaay! You know it's not a real shindig until I've shown up. So I'm doing, like, a community service! How about you, Honey? Here to have a good time?

[wilder]

[He snorts at that]

True, so true! Well thank you for your service by coming! I'm sure the host is real glad for having the presence of royalty.

[He'll take a sip of his drink]

Yeah, I'd say so! I heard there was a shingdig happening and I realized it's been awhile since I've been to a proper party- so I decided to get out for a bit! [It helps the snow is melting] Feels like the only places I've been these past couple months is my influencer studio and my sister's video store, I swear.

[burgersplease]

[Anby isn't much of a gambler, but she did learn how to play poker from Husk when she was younger. So sure, she's down for a couple games. She'll look up from her hand of cards]

I think so. Are aces high or low again?

[From her flat tone and deadpan face, it's impossible to tell if she's just checking the rules... or has aces in her hand]

[wiseoldbartender]

[ He tried to teach her, he tried his absolute best. And he has to admit, her poker face is absolutely perfect.

Mostly because she has the same expression no matter what is happening to her. He's pretty proud of it... even if he's pretty sure she isn't doing it on purpose. ]

...Depends on if it's a straight or not, if it's a straight, yeah. [A beat. ] Don't tell me if that's what you got.

[burgersplease]

[There is no change in her expression. It's as dead pan as always]

I'm not allowed to say. You taught me that.

[And then she pushes a couple chips in]

I'm starting the bidding at 10.

[Unfortunately, this also is not an indicator-- as Anby ALWAYS bets low. She's seen what happens with Nicole's high rolling attempts]

[thearchangel]

[Frankly, Garrus doesn't know what the hell this holiday is (and by now he's afraid to ask), but no member of the Normandy crew would turn town a party. He dressed up a bit - dark colors, a little bit of metallic accent here and there. But maybe he shouldn't have.]

[He'd been thinking. A lot. That conversation with Lycaon about his feelings, about his situation. About fairness. And, admittedly, how much he selfishly misses the woman he loves - not hiding it from her. He'd... asked her to come here. For that reason.]

[Until that happens, though, he's mostly lurking around one of the standing tables. He stands out (har har) quite a bit. Even though the whole Angel Form is under control by now.]

[He'll incline his head politely enough, if someone stops nearby.]

So what's this party about, exactly? The green and drunk holiday, right?

[doublethumbsup]

[Dance floor? Dance floor.]

[Hermes slapped some green bangles on their arms and called it good. Some of them are glow-stick bracelets. And while the music isn't exactly their speed - they tend to prefer songs with a lot of bass - it's a party. It's music. They're going to dance like their life depends on it.]

[If they end up a couple feet in the air as a result, it's fine. Don't worry about it.]

Hey! C'mon! You wanna dance?

[And needless to say, they inevitably drift toward wallflowers, and try to tug the loners out to dance too.]

[rupturingheaven]

Grab bag for Bailey please!

[trailblazingspirit]

WAVES

[trailblazingspirit]

[March, a Harp's Song in hand, sits at the bar sipping at her drink with wide eyes. After a moment, she speaks:]

...is this a bad time to admit I don't know who St. Patrick is?

[wilder]

[Zelos is nearby, in a green suit and a braid. He gives a shrug]

Eh, don't worry- I don't know either!

If he's a saint, he's probably long dead anyway- so what's he gonna do about it?

[trailblazingspirit]

Wait, all this is for a saint? [She glances around, taking in all the drunk people and all the green.] ...was he one of those saints who got really drunk and did miracles while totally trashed?

Also, wow, that's a lot of green.

[rupturingheaven]

[Dance floor! Bailey has happily dressed up for the occasion (while having shapeshifted their hair to something that wouldn't be terribly clashing).

They have, in fact, mostly been wallflowering, snatching up something from every serving tray that's passed them.

It's hard to not smile when Hermes approaches, though, and they nod.]

I don't see why not.

[Because, quite frankly, Hermes is one of those people that it's difficult to say no to. They drain the rest of their current drink--a Harp's Song--before making their way to the dance floor.]

Having fun?

[lanternae]

[A game of poker with his beloved treasure? Flins wouldn't be caught dead (haha) missing out on a chance like this. Flins' fingers gracefully fan out his cards, delicately threading through them as he takes a look at his hand.

He doesn't have a pokerface, exactly, but more just...he's interested in both winning and losing. So there is no telling what hand he's gotten.]

...

[However, he isn't above a little fun to throw Husk off his game. Without missing a beat, and tugging on one card to make sure it's even with the rest, he says, completely unprompted:]

Would you still love me if I was a badger?

[hexcrafter]

[From a few seats away, dressed in a dark green cardigan and drinking a Harp's Song of his own:]

I made the mistake of asking that question in the Zodiac offices during my first year. That same night some kind of fae with a look I can only describe as 'manic' manifested in my home and gave what I doubt was a strictly accurate explanation before raiding my kitchen for almonds and climbing out the window.
